From 2003 to 2006 NCP ran a car park for Asda at Brighton Marina.When the supermarket chain ended the contract, NCP sold on the recuperation of the outstanding fines to a debt recovery agency called Roxborough.
Now people are being contacted requesting the payment of unpaid 'fines' going back many months causing great concern and worry for many especially those who were unaware any ticket had been issued.
An Asda spokesman said: "We have issued a letter to NCP requesting the cancellation of all outstanding parking fines.
"We have also asked for fines that have already been paid for that period to be refunded and we expect them to be.
The story is reported here in the Brighton Argus.
When is the penny going to drop for these supermarkets that charging customers for parking them is one thing but then fining them for staying in the store too long smacks of bad business. And then courting more negative publicity with stories like this.
Remember Asda ... your reputation is now NCPs reputation. This is not the first time this has been reported. Remember the hospital car park?
Anyone who has paid a fine in such circumstances should contact Parking Appeals and we will assist you.
